If you're extremely loyal to your fast-food brand of choice, you might think it all boils down to your taste in food, but according to a new UK study, whether you prefer burgers or burritos actually says a lot about your profession and your interests. The study found two main differences between McDonald's and Chipotle customers, aside from the fact that Chipotle customers are willing to brave a seriously long line on the regs, of course.

The study used a tool, YouGov, to pull demographic data for typical customers of different companies, and to be fair, Chipotle and McDonalds aren't entirely different. They share some similar demographics, such as the average customer being female, between the age of 25 to 39, and with a discretionary income of $155/a month. But what they do with their free time as well as professionally is quite a different story.

McDonald's customers are more the Netflix + chill types. Their interests include playing video games, watching movies at home, sleeping, and sitting around "doing as little as possible." They work in the wholesale and retail industries, law, and consumer goods.

Chipotle customers, on the other hand, are a little more fancy schmancy, and enjoy going to restaurants, dancing, sustainability charities, and "New York State," (because apparently that's a bonafide interest?). They work in finance, research development, and travel and hospitality. Also not stated but totally relevant—they clearly don't mind dropping extra dough on guac.
